Do you need a bench rest? I'm going to recommend it simply because it is your first rifle and you do not know it's capabilities. Shooting without a rest can cause you to develop bad habits that are hard to break.
If you don't have a bench then an inexpensive outdoor table can be bought at Lowes or Home Depot. A folding chair can also be purchased there and they are usually the correct height for their tables.
A bipod for your rifle will get you started but you can use sand bags or spend the money and get proper shooting rests.
I use a Lead Sled for my larger caliber hunting rifles. It keeps me from developing a flinch and most importantly, it takes much of the human factor out the process of sighting in a rifle and determining it's accuracy potential.
Once my rifles are sighted in and I'm shooting good groups I put the sled away and see if I can repeat from the various positions that I might encounter while hunting when no sand bags or fancy shooting rests are available.
